How to get Email ids of any person you want to contact?

What you are going to learn here, may open doors to unlimited opportunities if practiced in a constructive manner. There is no purpose to write a cold email if your offer doesn’t have any realistic value for the Receiver.

A. Manual approach with 5-8 minutes work per contact

Try to find domain name of the company you are looking for say Insidesalesbox

Look at the website and confirm for domain. I got insidesalesbox.com

Now try to search for sample contact id at google by typing

[name] + email (or) email address

[name] + contact (or) contact information (or) contact me

email “@domain.com”

site:companywebsite.com + [name] + email

site:companywebsite.com + [name] + contact

I found email ids in these formats- info@insidesalesbox.com, s******@insidesalesbox.com, firstnamelastname@insidesalesbox.com. You may also get social profile URLs with above searches which can be handy in your outreach over twitter/ linkedin/ quora etc.
